@benchase7 There has to be a limit on how "clear" a screen can look at these sizes. I mean, I'm not jamming my face 2 inches from the display. at about 2 feet, which is what I would be from a 8" screen, 720p is more than enough for me. And for phones with screens like 4" or less, this whole thing about super extreme pixel density also doesn't make much difference to me. Must be my glasses.
did you even read the article? it clearly states it's got a 1024x600 res display even if you run 1080p video on the integrated display instead of using the hdmi port, it's not magically going to display 1920x1080 pixels, it's going to downscale
@mrqs Did you even read the comments to my post? They clearly stated that the native resolution is lower and that the 1080p support is for HDMI out and I admitted my ignorance. Now admit yours.
your 3rd comment seemed like you were still with your original thought so i disregarded the 2nd, but now that i've been to urban dictionary to look up "herp" and "derp", i see what you mean :)
well not the "herp" part, i still don't get that...

Is it really justifiable having 1080p on a screen that small? Is it even worth it?
@pintonion It has an HDMI port dude..
@sagi446 I herped a derp.
@pintonion
interesting thought. I wondered the same thing when they braged about the "retina" display on the fruit phone.

@mrqs It's like Uh oh. But in the now completely accepted net talk that you can't help but fall into.
